His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 140

“Jason, what’s up with you?” Evadne looked puzzled and surprised.

She always thought highly of Jason, but there he was looking all beat up and lost, eyes bloodshot, lips pale as a sheet, like a puppy left homeless in a downpour.

“Jason, are you here because of Elspeth?”

Ca**ius came up to Evadne, his steps steady, his eyes soft, as he wiped his handsome hands with a pristine white silk cloth.

Evadne glanced at him and saw specks of blood on the cloth.

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry!” Jason kept apologizing, bowing deeply to them.

Just as Evadne was puzzled, Arnold gave her a buzz.

“Arnold?”

“Sis, Elspeth just left my place.”

Arnold’s voice was heavy with resignation, seemingly self–blaming as he said, “My team and I have been gathering evidence on Elspeth’s abuse of power and bribery, but she’s way ahead of us, shifting all blame to Earl. Frederic got her a really slick lawyer, Cedric Dempsey. That guy is ruthless; he knows exactly how to exploit legal loopholes. My evidence fell short, so I had to let Elspeth go.”

“It’s alright, Arnold, you’ve done your best. And we hit our target, as long as we’ve got the Westguard project under our belt. Everything else, we can take it slow.”

Evadne was calm, but those around her were all fuming as they were itching to give Elspeth a good thrashing.

Elspeth was no saint, but Evadne knew that they could take their time dealing with that woman.

At that point, Frederic was still head over heels for Elspeth, he would surely go all out to help her. Escalating the conflict between two big conglomerates for a single project, wasting resources, just wasn’t worth it at that time.

“Uh, Evadne, Jason already rang me up, he seemed quite upset. Comfort him a bit, this has nothing to do with him. He cares too much about your feelings, afraid that you’re upset, so he’s under a lot of stress,” Arnold sighed.

“I got it.”
